Yea, don’t use a fly by night for sure. The reason I mentioned the endorsement is a lot of people don’t know you can do that.

Uship has both experienced and fly by night so you do have to investigate a bit. The guy I went with had 200+ tows with 100% positive feedback (He also specialized in boats). I spoke with him and he was fully insured but I got the endorsement from my company anyway to play it safe. He wrapped the T-top and console in stretch wrap to keep the bug splats at a minimum. He took the prop off for the trip too. Even the guy I bought the boat from told me how impressed he was with the guy (wish I could find his info for you). He had a GPS tracker and I could go online to see where he was at any time. He also called each day to let me know how things were going. My trailer is a double axel and one of the tires had a flat the first night, no problem as this guy carries spare trailer tires with him in different sizes. He was a true professional. The reason I got a great deal is that he hauled another boat from Florida to Louisiana and his next haul was to pull a boat from the Cape down to Florida. I had posted my need to have a boat from Mississippi brought up to Mass. Since he was deadheading it up to Mass anyway, he took my job for really short money. I not only lucked out on the price but got a quality guy as well. Good luck!
